{"product_id":"john-lydgates-dance-of-death-megan-l-cook-9781580443807","title":"John Lydgate's 'Dance of Death' and Related Works","description":"This volume joins new editions of both texts of John Lydgate's \u003ci\u003eThe Dance of Death\u003c\/i\u003e, related Middle English verse, and a new translation of Lydgate's French source, the \u003ci\u003eDanse macabre\u003c\/i\u003e. Together these poems showcase the power of the \u003ci\u003edanse macabre\u003c\/i\u003e motif, offering a window into life and death in late medieval Europe. In vivid, often grotesque, and darkly humorous terms, these poems ponder life's fundamental paradox: while we know that we all must die, we cannot imagine our own death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Megan L.
